TERA: Rising Debuts Corsairs’ Stronghold Battleground With All New Content

Break down the castle walls! En Masse Entertainment, a player-driven publisher focused on delivering fun and innovative online games, announced today that their action MMO, TERA: Rising, will be debuting all new content in their upcoming battleground, Corsairs’ Stronghold. Staying true to TERA’s action combat roots, a massive 20-player team will be given an arsenal of weapons and war machines to attack a stronghold defended by another 20-player team. Players will utilize battle tanks, airships, cannons and siege ladders to outwit and overpower their opponents. Then, the tables will turn when teams switch roles attacking and defending the stronghold.

The Corsairs’ Stronghold adds a whole new dynamic to TERA: Rising’s award-winning action combat system, demanding new cooperative tactics on foot and in the air. With gear equalized to a level playing field, players can enter the battleground starting level 30 and will need to rely on skill and wit to ensure victory. Upon entering the Corsairs’ Stronghold, players will be put on teams tasked with defending the anchorstone from swashbuckling invaders, or drafted to the offense tasked with destroying it. The Corsairs’ Stronghold will debut as part of a new patch in TERA: Rising on July 2, and current players will have the option to download this content early. The patch also contains the framework for future content and features that will roll out later this summer including the highly anticipated Alliance system and new raid dungeons that En Masse Entertainment will speak to in the coming weeks.

The recipient of multiple industry accolades, including “Best PC Game” at E3 and “Best Combat” at PAX, TERA gives players the best of both worlds: MMO depth delivered with the visceral gratification of an action game. In TERA: Rising, players actively aim, dodge and block, as the game’s real-time combat system takes into account player skill and position as well as stats. Players join a united federation to save the world and can also participate in the game’s forward-thinking political system, through which they wield power based on their in-game political prowess or PvP combat skill. New players can enjoy standard status for free with no level cap or content restrictions. Anyone who purchased the game will gain permanent founder status with special privileges. Elite status is available for players who want to further customize their gameplay experience.
